Storm Born, graphic novel (review) by Richelle Mead

Summary: "Eugenie Markham never
asked for any of this. Until now, she''s been content with her job as a
freelance shaman, battling and banishing Otherworldly creatures. When a
prophecy suddenly makes her the Otherworld''s most popular bachelorette,
Eugenie finds herself fighting off unwanted supernatural suitors, as
well as the evils that begin emerging from her past..."

Eugenie
is very well portrayed. Reasonably confident, but not over the top.
Caring and practical. It is very easy to like her. The pace seems well
done. Her 'minions' are likeable in their own way too.

Eugenie
is given a request that she doesn't really want to take on. Travel to
the Otherworld to rescue a man's sister. Such travel is dangerous but
she feels for the guy so she takes on the assignment. However, before
she goes she has some unique encounters first as demons, fairies and the
like start calling her by name. How did she become known to them. So
now it is a two-part job. Save the girl and learn why the Otherworld
wants her.

This story seems well paced for a graphic novel. A
nice blend of action, romance and fantasy. Very solid story. My only
complaint is the drawing of the faces seems too harsh in a lot of shots.
Just my opinion though. Otherwise the artwork is nicely done. Good
blend of coloring and shading.

I made one grave mistake in my
reading of this. I read this BEFORE the book. So now I have to
backtrack and read the novel. Wish me luck!
